The Challenge
What the Homeowner Needed.
The aging asphalt roof on this multi-wing estate was failing and entirely out of character with the home's architecture. The owners needed a material match for the property's historic profile.
The Solution
How We Approached It.
We installed a full cedar shake roof across all wings and dormers, coordinating flashing, ridges, and valleys to match the home's French-inspired roofline.
